Yes, you can change both the AC and the battery brightness setting to your preference. And your English is fine. :)

I had the same problem with my mini 10 - holding the fn button (a few to the left of the space bar) and tapping f3 (for darker) or f4 (for brighter) is what did it for me! It's not a permanent fix, but it helped me! Good luck!

You have to turn off the Light Sensor and Dynamic Backlight first, then it will let change the brightness.

Yes the screen is always lit unless you turn it off. However the screen is different than a clock. It is not a black background with red or white numbers. The screen is a blue background with all the information in white numbers. The entire screen is illuminated. there are three levels of illumination. On the higher levels you can use it as a night lite. It can be that bright.

If not, you can dim it very close. Let me check. With the radio off, keep pressing the snooze bar. The display will keep getting brighter, but will shut off. Then it will progress from the dimmer side of the spectrum.

Yes. Here's how the screen function works: 1. When not connected with the AC power adapter (solely on battery power) the screen will automatically time out after approximately 2 min. Audio will remain "on". You can keep the screen from turning off by pressing the screen button (lower right side, second from the bottom) which will keep the screen on but obviously use more power. 2. When connected to the AC power adapter simply press the screen button to toggle the screen on & off. Otherwise the default setting with the power adapter connected is the screen on. The audio will remain on and is adjustable via the onscreen menu. Hope this helps!

Are you talking about the screen backlight or button backlight. If button, recheck your wiring because ive never had that problem. If screen backlight: My favorite part about this unit is the full dual backlit lighting control. Hold mode down to customize the color. With the headlight off you can set a color, with the headlight on you can set another color. Brightness of each template is also at your control. My headlight-off lighting is full bright red, headlight-on is dim white.

I don't think it's possible. If there is, i cant find it. I've read that others are also bothered by the brightness of the display. Try a piece of tinted film, I think you can get some pretty inexpensively at a craft store.

You can dim the brightness. I for as I know there is no way to change the color of the display.

Out of the box, the screen is somewhat dim, and there is an automatic dimming feature connected with energy management that can make it quite dark. The brightness can be adjusted through Windows settings. The battery won't last as long, but it's a trade off. My screen is adjusted for full brightness now and is great. I love this laptop.

There is a feature in the image settings labeled C.A.T.S. that will perform automatic adjustment between contrast and brightness. Turn it off if you don't want to use it. However it's different for each input, and the apps count as an input for adjustment purposes.

My old battery was not holding a charge with the screen brightness turned up. It works much better now. I have not tried a long run (3+ hours) with the PC not plugged in.

Brightness cannot be adjusted, however you can adjust contrast by: Pressing the MENU/SHUFFLE button 5 times. You'll see "CONT:10" on the display. Adjust the contracts to your desired level by pressing the << and >> buttons. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com.Thank you,Satechi Technical Support

I haven't used the TMax in a while but you should be able to go into the "settings" screen and brighten the screen from there. Either through a display setting or look for a slide tab for screen brightness.

The screen is backlit. There is an option in the settings you can toggle on and off. The backlit screen runs down the batteries much more quickly

Auto-brightness can be disabled from within Windows. Go to Metro screen (the one with the square icons, not the normal Windows desktop) -> Move mouse to bottom right corner to get menu -> Click Settings -> Change PC Settings (bottom) -> PC and Devices -> Power and sleep. Auto-brightness toggle is on that screen.

There is an option called CATS, turn it off {menu-->Picture, scroll down to C.A.T.S.} When set on it adjusts the screens brightness according to the ambient light
